"At the turn of the century, you could learn something about the average man by looking at his shaving mug. Customarily, it was personalized with the insignia of his choice. Popular designs included initials, pictures reflecting the owner's occupation or hobby, and emblems of fraternal organizations. The shaving mug which inspired our designer may have belonged to a railroad engineer or conductor.

In addition to the one at home, a man often would have a personalized shaving mug reserved for his exclusive use at the local barbershop."
